Shueisha announced that new manga series appearing in its Weekly Young Jump manga magazine will begin getting simultaneous English localizations, and the first series in this initiative is Bungo: Unreal. These series will appear on the MangaPlus site. The initiative already kicked off, with Bungo: Unreal chapter 1 available as of October 8, 2025. This means the included stories will appear in English worldwide outside of China, Japan, and South Korea.

As part of this, Shueisha also noted that this marks a change to ensure all new ongoing Weekly Young Jump manga will appear in an additional language. Previously, only some manga from this magazine would appear on MangaPlus. Some of the recent additions ahead of this initiative were The Days of Diamond, Genikasuri, andTerra Formars.
Bungo: Unreal itself is the follow-up to Bungo, which ran between 2014 and 2024. (The original is not on MangaPlus.) It is a sports manga set in middle school and follows Bungo Ishihama and Yukio Noda as they play for Seio Senior. It will run on a weekly basis, so the next new chapter launches on October 15, 2025.
